As the number of states legalizing marijuana for medical and/or recreational use continues to grow, there are an increasing number of children exposed to marijuana-containing products in homes and communities. Increased exposure leads to a greater probability of accidental ingestion and toxicity. Because marijuana ingestion can cause a dangerous and potentially life-threatening toxicity for children, pediatric health care providers need an increased awareness of the danger. This article describes the growing problem and outlines clinical management as well as prevention. [Pediatr Ann. 2018;47(12):e474-e476.].
随着将大麻用于医疗和/或娱乐用途合法化的州数量不断增加,越来越多的儿童在家庭和社区中接触到含大麻的产品。接触增加导致意外摄入和中毒的可能性更大。由于大麻摄入会对儿童造成危险且可能危及生命的毒性,儿科医疗保健提供者需要提高对这种危险的认识。本文描述了这一日益严重的问题,并概述了临床管理以及预防措施。[《儿科年鉴》。2018年;47(12):e474 - e476。]
